Ribs. Wearing a waist harness.

No pain .... no gain ..... With they way wind is in Sydney you can't even get on the water to tempt the pain Gods.
You just gotta envy the sandgropers ... constant green arrows .... ah ,, it would be nice.

Uber,

You should be ashamed, I'm gonna call the RSPCA and report you for injuring poor innocent donkeys on the beach.

It would be much more humane to injure your own arse rather than a poor old donkey.

Lower back injuries from when I was a teenager, constantly recurring from kiteloops on short lines. If they weren't soooo much fun, i'd probably stop doing them and give up the week of crippling back pain they inflict on me. Also known as old mans back

Also extremely painful inflamed tendons running through my shoulder joint. This one is constant unless I take an operation where they grind out the joint to make room for the oversized tendons Think I'll enjoy the pain a little longer thanks.

Kitesurfing, it hurts so good

my foot hurts were i stood on a tin can in the river... diddums

ear
must get helmet

lets see ... after a 4 hour session...
toes, tops of feet, outside of calves, top of thighs, inside of thighs,
gluteus maximus, lower back, abs, top of shoulders , inside of bicep,
top of forearm, fingers.
oh and cheeks from smiling too much.

Recently had the bottom of both big toes worn out due to so much wave riding.

Put blue tac in it (for the water, not just the fashionable look). Works a treat. And if you have problem with 'swimmers ear', put dry your ears out with a hairdryer when you get home (can you tell I blew an eardrum?)

will do da blue tack thingy next time but i dont intend on stacking in the same fashion as last time

yay, did ya win?

i won the "most likely to kill someone if i dont get to kite award" lol
The weather was ****e for kiting most of the time, had a few good kites.
The quote of the trip was definately....
"This trip is a big sh1t sandwhich and everyone has to take a bite"

The whole insta crowd thing and the 'circus has come to town greatings' that we got where fkn cool though. It was sooooo much fun, you just cant explain, not like any trip ive ever done before or will ever get to do again.

Too many knots behind my shoulder from a 6 hour session learning surface passes and pullups that they pushed in on a nerve. It happened to be 'the funny bone' nerve but instead of getting that pins and needles sensation just at the elbow, I got it all the way from my shoulder to my fingertips! Lesson learned: stretch before and after...a lot easier than a trip to the physio! Also, try tricks both ways!!
Otherwise, cut up feet and 19 sea urchins from walking on the reef up north after getting done on a wave. Lesson learned: dont crash your kite in the waves and ALWAYS wear booties up north even if they suck to wear!

Try pulling your middle 2 fingers apart so much that your knuckle breaks and the skin tears on the top and bottom of your hand.

2 ankle ligaments and a broken fibula.
Got metal in me now cant wait for the airport.

It all hurts

Specifically:
both shoulders, several sublaxations each, never managed a proper dislocation. Started out from rugby and snowboarding, but one was from getting hoisted out of the water onto hard sand and landing point of the elbow down and jamming the arm up into the socket

lacerations on feet from nasties under the water

lacerations on whole body due to kitemare kite deathlooping up across the beach and over the short dune scrub and barbed wire fence behind it. I stopped short of the barbed wire by about 10m when the one small shrub I was wearing on my head by then helped me anchor into another one. Two lines on one side then broke, possibly cut on barbed wire, stopping what could have been a much worse day from happening. Was wearing shorty wetsuit so only face, arms and legs were cut up, about 50-60 cuts.

knees FUBAR, old injuries from back in the day, kiting aggravates them. left one hurts when I walk, right one hurts when I stay still, both hurt when I run.

The piece de resistance: soft tissue damage to the groin on a kiteboard fin. The pus and gunk and blood worked its way down between my muscles over a couple of weeks (painful) and ended up in my right nutsack (even more painful) for a couple of months. That's gotta make top ten?
